TEMpERING STEEL.
A Discovery Tss2t win Reyolutionizs Tool
Making,


National Republican.
Two Kentuckians, one of them a blacksmith,
recently called at the Navy Department and an
nounced that they had discovered a process Of
treating steel, which, il their claims are borne
out by the facts, will practically revolutionze
the art of steel tool-maklng They did not di-
vulge the nature of their invention further than
to intimate that it related to the chemical bath
in which the tool is immersed in the temperin
process The callers asserted that by their
method of treatment the commonest grades of
metal-such shear cast stee-coud be so
tempered in the matters of hardness and tough
as to fully equal the best grades of tool steel.
An ordinary pair of cheap cast steel scissors could
be treated without disconnectng the blades so
as to cut and hold An edge as we'll as the best
English tool steel shears.
An experiment was made on the blade of Sec
rotary Whitney's pocket knife with the resul,
that it was possible to cut or white ordinary
steel key without apparent injury to the blade.
Moreover the results of the treatment are as
serted to be SO under control that it is possible
to temper steel to any degree Of hardness OF
toughness that may be required by the for
which it is intended. So impressed WAS the Sec
rotary by the claims Of the inventors that. after
consultation with the chief of the Bureau oil
Ordnance, he decided to permit the process TO be
tested experimentally at the Washington navy
yard. Commodore Sicard accordingly ordered
specimen bars of steel to be prepared, and the
experiments have already been begun

the young in derision. The old men are the ac-

The Jews OF Russia.

Ralph Meeker, in April Harper.
When Russian three men with eaunt
faces long priestly coats dangling at their heels
and lock of hair hanging over each ear he
says More government SPIES" These Polish
Jews should not be COMPOUNDED with the thrifty
Jews Of America. They are another class of
people. Their features, their manners, the cut
of their hair and the fashion OF their clothing
are different from what one is accustomed to
see in New York. The number of blondes
among them is surprisingly large They

and they in turn, ever watching, ever hating, are
never afraid, yet distrust ever turks in their

STOPPED THE MIRACLES.
A Priest Who Performed Cures Ordered tn
Cease by His Archbishop

Cease by His Archbishop.
New Orleans Special.
For some time the section of the city hmm di-
ately surrounding the Ursuline Convent has
been excited over reports of remarkable cures
effected by Father Boudard, the priest of the
conventual chapel Many women and children
affected with apparently incurabie diseases, the
report ran. after having been pronounced hope
lessly iii, had applied to father Boudard for re-.
lief The latter, after prescribing a course of
prayers giving the applicant a certain water en-
dowed with miraculous power and performing
number of mysterious passes with holy relic,
had in each succeeded in effecting a rad
cal cure. The excitement has grown from day
to day. the report OF the miraculous results
achieved by the priest have spread abroad and
crowds of unfortunates have besieged the little
chapel, imploring grace or cure at the hands of
Father Boudard.
AT last intelligence Of these things reached
the ears of Archbishop Leroy. and to-day the
Archbishop issued au order to Father Bou6ard
to cease his healing and praying practices, pend
ing investigations into the matter by the Arch
bishop. Archbishop Leroys action was based
upon the fact that tho Roman Catholic Church
is very slow and careful in accepting miracles.
Before miracle is acknowledged there must be
undoubted proof, and, furthermore. the one &C.
credited with having accomplished extraordi-
nary and supernatural results must be saint.
Those people who believe in the supernatural
character of Father Boudard healer are
much disappointed at the action of Archbishop
Leroy.

Sermon to the TippecAnoe Club.

The First Baptist Church was crowded yes
terday morning. on the occasion of special SER
vices in honor of the Tippecanoe Club The club
met at the city courtroom at $50 o'clock, and
went in body to the church. Most of its mem-
bers occupied reserved seats directly in front of
the pulpit, but four or fve who are now, or
were at one time ministers of the gospel had
seats with the pastor. After special song SER
vice by the church choir, Rev. L. Fl. Jameson
sang a new song he has recently composed,
called us My Name Written Theref" Rev. Reu-
ben Jeffrey then addressed the club speaking
from the seventy-frst Psalm. ninth verse:
"Cast me not off when my strength ceases We
know, said he, that all kinds Of animals shrink
from death. This intuition asserts itself in the
highest and most intelligent way in man. The
Bible teaches us that we should love life. It
teaches us to prepare for heaven, but it does not
tell us that we should desire to get rid of life.
Length of days is special providence Of GOD,
and we should be content to have it, for
it is one of His chief blessings. David
said, 81 would not live always" but He was in
deep anguish when He uttered that complaint.
Long life on earth is only an exemplihcation of
Gods great plan He marks the borders of our
life according to the mission He has prepared
for us. There is sense of regret when brave
soldiers are killed in battle but we can't under
stand why Providence should cut them down so
soon, but it is all according to Gods dispense
ton Disease and infrmities enter into the
perierce of old age, butt after all, continuity
must be regarded as a special gift from heaven.
There is proprlety in the prayer of the Psalmist
that God would not forsake him when he was
old. The last time the Doctor said he dined
with Henry Ward Beecher he was much i'm
| pressed with a remark the great preacher made.
| I'VE had been talking of old age" he continued
| when said to him: Don't you feel as If you
| would like 20 go home and rest foreverl'
| In his brisk way. he answered: No. indeed
| do not want to retire until God has
| no more work for me; then l want Him
| to take me home" Beecher had many trials
| during his life. but they all came before his
| strength began to fail him. There is no neces-
| sty for dying before the dying day comes and
many have grown very Old by realizing this fact.
| The first of many trials in old age is the growing
| sense of physical infirmity. 1t Is hard work for
| a man to give up ana own that he is failing. Oc-
casionally IL flashes over man that he is getting
old, and what queer sensations he experiences.
The world too, begins to understand that he is
advancing in years. and often begins to show
him that he is not wanted The most tryine
| thought is when old man realizes that some
one has to take care of him. and the most sor
| rowful is for to believe that he is not want
| ed; that his own relatives are rejoiced and per
| fectly reconciled to the promise that he is soor
| going to die. The happlest old men are those
who can look back upon wcll-spen

Central avenue Church, preached a sermon on
the relations of popular amusements, particu-
larly of theater going. to Christian life and char
acter having special reference to members of
the Methodist communion, the standing rules of
which organization forbid the indulgence of GER
tain specified amusements 1t was a very kind

From the Mission Field.

1t cannot be impressed too deeply upon the
mind and heart Of every Christian that no
church can afford to neglect its duty toward the
cause Of missions. Christianity would have
perished on the site of its birth if the apostles
had remained in Jerusalem till all the people in
that city believed and obeyed the gospel 1t is
\ suicidal policy that takes no thought of the
regions beyond. Selfshness is as fatal to spir-
itual prospects paralysis. The anti mission
spirit ia the spirit of anti-Christ 1t may

evangelical. Look at the history Of the church
and see if it is not so. Those epochs in which
the church was most prosperous were character

Periods of corruption and apostacy were periods

about Il horse, and must tell it 10 the
children. n man had 4 horse who
" ould sit down whenever he was
touched in the flank. He would
just squat down on his hind quarters
like dog. The man tried 10 break
him of it, but he couldn't and no
body would buy him. One day .
sportsman come along and made
him acquaintance, and they took q
ride together to hunt cartridges.
When they found a cover the man
touched his heels to tie horses
tanks, and he sat down. what
mskes your horse do hiatt said the
sportsman. "Why, he's a setter
said the man. "He sets birds ius,
Ike dog" So the sportsman
thought he was most wonderful
horse, and he snapped for him and
gave $50 to boot. and he got on him.
and after a while they came 10 a
creek that was pretty deep, and as
the sportsman held up his legs to
keep them out of the water hi,
heels touched the horse in the flank
and down lie set in the wa.er.
When he got him up and out and
was ali dripping wet, he was a.
mad as wet hen, and said, well.
sir, what made this horse do that
way in the water;" II forgot to tell
you, said the man, that he set, fish
